coming back to this to document some of my favorite quotes:

"you make me so happy / how can i write it down"

"you don't have to give yourself to everyone you want / just like every impulse need not to be surrendered to"

"everything / everything / overtakes me eventually"

"i don't care if you think i don't know what I'm saying / i know what I'm saying"

"everything disgusting about love is an infection i have experienced personally / everything glorious about love also belongs to me"

"i missed something so hard it made me sad in a final way"

"truth... / i have stretched that word so far"

"but i left something soft / of myself in that room / i won't make the mistake / of bringing into the next one"

"the pain of similarity in the sweetness"
